Horror!

My friends often fancy themselves comedians. Today one of them sent me a link to a very scary item on SkyMall - dress up squirrel magnets! Immediately induced panic and terror. :) I hate these little creatures, always on the attack in DC. Chasing after crumbs, carrots or crackers. They're like little dogs begging for attention and treats. Many times I've seen them jump on a tourist's lap while sitting on a bench in the city, trying to grab a morsel of food. Aggressive little beasts.

This SkyMall catalog has the strangest items, yet I always reach for it when intense boredom sits in on a flight. I'm sure every country has an equivalent catalog on flights where you can purchase unusual things. This same friend even hinted at my Christmas gift this year - a squirrel blanket! Certain to induce winter nightmares.


Regular readers know how I feel about this animal, which is considered a fairy tale like creature in Russia. What's your phobia? Come on share - we all have them. :)
